项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Improving health care delivery for older adults requires investigation by both trained geriatricians and subspecialists with a geriatric focus. Infections in older adults are a common public health problem that lead to functional decline, mortality, and healthcare expenditures. Nursing home residents, in particular, are a vulnerable population in whom further investigation is warranted to optimize medical care. Urinary tract infection (DTI) in nursing home residents is an investigatively understudied topic. The primary goal of this application is to train Dr. Juthani-Mehta, the candidate, to be an investigative leader in geriatric infectious diseases and to advance multidisciplanary research in UTI in nursing home residents. The short-term goals of the career development plan are: 1) to establish the candidate as a patientoriented investigator at the interface of infectious diseases, geriatric medicine, and nursing home practice; 2) to gain additional training and mentorship in chronic disease epidemiology, infectious diseases epidemiology, and longitudinal study design; and 3) to obtain skills in clinical trial design, geriatric medicine, and infection control methodology in nursing homes that will be necessary for future studies. The long-term goal is to train the candidate to be an investigative leader in the field of infections in older adults prepared to conduct multi-center observational and interventional clinical trials in long-term care facilities. The specific aims of the research plan are: 1) to determine the reliability of UTI specific (e.g. flank pain or tenderness) and UTI non-specific (e.g., change in mental status) clinical features as assessed by nursing staff in nursing home residents with suspected UTI; 2) to identify those reliable clinical features in residents with suspected UTI that are associated with laboratory evidence of UTI (i.e., bacteriuria plus pyuria) to create an evidencebased definition of UTI; and 3) to validate the combination of clinical features that are both reliable and associated with laboratory evidence of UTI in a separate validation cohort of nursing home residents with suspected UTI. The candidate is an emerging patient-oriented investigator with unique training in infectious diseases and geriatric clinical epidemiology that make her an ideal candidate to be among the investigative leaders in this field. The renowned mentors she has assembled and the environment at Yale University will allow for outstanding training and the successful completion of the proposed study.

描述（由申请人提供）：改善老年人的医疗保健服务需要培训的老年医生和专科医生的调查，并以老年人为重点。老年人的感染是一个常见的公共卫生问题，导致功能下降，死亡率和医疗保健支出。尤其是养老院居民是一个脆弱的人群，在其中有必要进行进一步的调查以优化医疗服务。疗养院居民中的尿路感染（DTI）是一个调查研究的话题。该申请的主要目的是培训候选人Juthani-Mehta博士，成为老年传染病的调查领导者，并推进疗养院居民UTI的多学科研究。职业发展计划的短期目标是：1）在传染病，老年医学和疗养院实践的界面上建立候选人为患者的研究者； 2）获得慢性疾病流行病学的额外培训和指导，传染病流行病学和纵向研究设计； 3）在疗养院中获得临床试验设计，老年医学和感染控制方法的技能，这对于将来的研究是必不可少的。长期的目标是培训候选人，成为准备在长期护理设施中进行多中心观察和介入临床试验的老年人感染领域的调查领导者。研究计划的具体目的是：1）确定UTI特异性（例如侧翼疼痛或压痛）和UTI非特异性（例如，心理状况的变化）临床特征的可靠性，该特征是由疗养院居民在具有可疑UTI的疗养院居民中评估的； 2）确定与疑似UTI的居民中的这些可靠的临床特征，这些临床特征与UTI的实验室证据（即细菌和脓尿）相关，以创建基于证据的UTI定义； 3）验证临床特征的组合，这些特征在单独的疗养院居民居民中，既可靠又与UTI的实验室证据相关联。该候选人是一名新兴的以患者为导向的研究者，对传染病和老年临床流行病学进行了独特的培训，使她成为该领域调查领导者之一的理想候选人。她召集的著名导师和耶鲁大学的环境将允许出色的培训并成功完成拟议的研究。
